I personally think it supports it if you think about it, it's just that it doesn't make a big deal out of it or hand it to the viewer on a silver platter so to speak. I mean, this is a very scary thing to say out loud around Lucas haters, but I do think the guy knows his own story and to me it was very apparent that he made the Jedi that way and introduced the Midichlorians with the idea of the Jedi in the PT being too strict and closed-minded (the Midichlorians, Jedi not being allowed to have romantic relationships, Anakin being unable to visit his mother, the list goes on!), but to each his own.
It's a lot more than just the Midichlorians that I feel backs up what I'm getting at. I don't think we're going to change each other's minds, but it was still fun to go over-- especially with the few such as yourself that were willing to have a polite back and forth.
